10 Things Men Shouldn't Do After 30

There are some things men will always do! And then there are those things that men should not even contemplate doing once they have crossed the 30 mark.

Whilst age should certainly not be a barrier when it comes to many accomplishments in life, there exists a list of 10 things you need to know about that are a completely no-no after 30:

1. Borrow Money from your Parents:

By the age of 30, you should pretty much get rid of the habit of borrowing money from your parents. On the contrary, you should, by this age, have started being their pillar of financial support!

2. Let Your Underpants Show above your Jeans:

This is plain simple crass! Even if you did this as a teenager, what were you thinking! If you do this after 30, only god can save you!

3. Let Your Girlfriend Pay:

C’mon, seriously? This is a complete no-no. Any self-respecting guy would not even let his girl go Dutch! It is just not chivalrous! Period.

4. Let Your Girlfriend Drop You Home:

This is ok perhaps if your car has broken down and she is the only one around to give you a lift home. However, if she drops you home after a dinner date, are you sure you have crossed the age of 30?

5. Put up Posters of your Favourite Stars on your Bedroom Wall:

This is certainly not to be considered ok even after the age of 20! Nevertheless, if you happen to have any of the posters of any superstars up on your wall at THIS age, its better they came off ASAP to avoid any embarrassing scenes anytime soon!

6. Get Obsessed with Video Games:

Playing video games is a cool thing to do when you are hanging out with the buddies. Bear in mind, however, that it could be a complete waste of time and effort, wherein you could be spending your hours on much more productive work.

7. Wait for the Next Pay Check to Make Ends Meet:

By the age of 30, you are expected to have your finances in order. You should not be at a stage where you are waiting for the next salary to get that roll of toilet paper for the loo!

8. Financially Insecure:

This also goes to say that you should, by 30, have established yourself, or at least realized the career path you have should tread on. You must also have your finances in place, investments and savings sorted out and future plans thought out.

9. Be Unaware of Social and Political Issues Around you:

To not be aware of the various social or political occurrences around you is unacceptable at the age of 30. Not only should you be aware, but have an opinion of your own too! So, start licking up the newspaper every morning if you do not wish to belong to this category.

10. Live Recklessly:

The days of reckless partying, careless spending and irrelevant activities should be parts of an era bygone. At 30, you need to act in a more responsible fashion. You need to think about your parents, family and kids, rather than about being wild and having fun!

Being 30 is not all serious, as the list above may make it appear. However, fun can be accomplished if doused with a reasonable quantity of wisdom. So, enjoy the 30s as you also take on more responsibilities!
